Is Tessellated Vanda toxic to dogs?
Vanda tessellata
No — tessellated vanda is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs. It is a sensible choice for a home with a dog; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Orchids are listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs (Phalaenopsis orchid is the named non-toxic entry, with no orchid on the toxic list). Vanda tessellata is not individually catalogued, but as a member of Orchidaceae it has no calcium oxalates or known toxic principle. Non-toxic does not mean edible, so chewing may still cause mild gastric upset.
